Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Vicente Fox, the former President of Mexico, hasn’t exactly held back when it’s come to his thoughts on Donald Trump. He spent the campaign profanely insisting that Mexico would never pay for Trump’s border wall, and he’s since gone on to lampoon Trump on a regular basis. But now Fox is taking things even further by launching a humorous faux-campaign for President of the United States in mock-serious fashion.

Fox is clearly not constitutionally eligible to become President of the United States, as he was born in another country. But he’s not really running. He’s launched the fake campaign as an opportunity to hurl one punchline at Donald Trump after another. Or as Fox puts it, “if that worn out baseball glove tightly gripping a turd can be president, then amigos, anyone can.” Fox promises to save Americans money by having a tiny inauguration ceremony, but still “bigger than Trump’s” of course.

Vicente Fox also jokes that he was planning to promise to undo all of Donald Trump’s legislative accomplishments, before realizing Trump hasn’t had any: “I’m not even President yet, and we have both passed the same amount of substantial legislation. I, a foreigner, who lives in another country, have passed zero. And you, the President of the United States, have also passed zero.” Watch Fox’s hilarious takedown of Trump in the video below (link):

At one point Vicente Fox quips to Trump that “You suck so much at this job, if they ever do a Mount Rushmore for shitty presidents, it will just be your bloated orange head four times.”
